Hip websterism. Music and identity.

• At work we've finally reached consensus that we shouldn't try to build a slick Web 2.0 web app without using a slick modern web framework. So suddenly all hell has broken loose and we've been allowed to futz around with Django in an officially sanctioned way. In a coup, we've taken the opportunity to try out distributed versioning control as well

Django really is terrific, I used it for my first project at work and was surprised to discover (over and over again) that it actually feels right for the job. I'm now using it for a couple of independent projects as well & consider it my framework of choice for basically any problem that doesn't fit neatly into any of my predefined categories.

It seems -- very strongly -- to me like this *is* Python's web framework -- the framework that, above all else & above the others, brings the aesthetic and the approach of Python into the web framework world.

(The others have their particular strengths, of course, and I'd use any of them for a particular class of problems that fits their brains. But Django really is just the one I'll go to as a default now.)

Hey, there, I got a little excited about Django for a while, there. Whoa.
